[NoflopsHomer]

Ali limps for 12k. Kevin O'Leary completes in the small blind before Tony Cascarino spoils the fun but raising an additional 100k. Ali and Kevin pass. Tony shows jacks.

Roberto raises to 31,500 from UTG, Ali calls in the big blind. They check a board the whole way where Ali's is good.

Next Kevin raises to 31k and Roberto makes the call from the small blind.



Kevin bets 21k, Roberto raises to 80k and Kevin quickly folds. During this hand Rob Sherwood comes up to chat, "All I'm getting is 4-2, 8-3 and the like, not even a Q-T or connectors, it's a nightmare."

Rob does complete the small blind in the next hand though, after Ali Mallu has limped and Kevin O'Leary checks. The flop comes and the action is checked to Mallu, who of course bets 12k. Rob folds once more and Kevin calls. Both players check the turn and river.

"1 pair" declares Ali.

"How big?" asks Kevin.

"The smallest one on the flop."

Kevin turns over but he's been pipped by the Mallu limp with .

Well played Kevin, that was some battle.  Not bad to come back from having 2k on the bubble yesterday....

On the very next hand after eliminating Kevin O'Leary, Ali Mallu found A-K and reraised Tony Cascarino's button raise all in. Tony folded A-7 suited.

Then, when Ali was on the button, he found A-T and took the blinds, much to a frustrated Rob Sherwood's annoyance as he shook his head and threw 6-2o onto the felt.

But it didn't end there though, as Ali won his fourth hand in a row. With Ali and Roberto Romanello both limping preflop, Rob folded the small blind and Tony checked his option. Ali then took it down with a bet of 28,000 on a n flop.

Rob Sherwood has doubled through! It took him three hands to achieve his goal though. First he pushed from the button to take down the blinds, then he chopped an A-Q versus A-Q encounter with Ali Mallu on an ensuing rainbow board, before finally hitting that 200,000 mark. With Ali raising it up to 52,000 from the button, Roberto Romanello folded his small blind and Rob went into the tank. After a short dwell, and knowing that Ali was committed to the pot, Rob made the push with for a total of 118,500. To everyone's surprise, Ali hesitated, and asked how much it cost. Eventually, he acknowledged that he couldn't passed and called with the Hammer, , much to the amusement of the onlooking crowd. The board missed Ali's hand, allowing Rob to take the pot. "I'm going to need to win a race," declared Rob before any hands were shown. You can never assume anything when you're playing Mr Mallu.

If Lawrence Gosney had also made this final with Ali, we'd have already been home by now.

And this is where Ali Mallu's reputation gets him pots that other people just will never get.

Rob Sherwood in the last hand before the break, raises to 33k from the button and Mallu makes the call from the big blind.



Ali moves all-in, Rob rechecks his cards and thinks for about 20 seconds before calling. Ali turns over and a grimace comes over Sherwood's face as he flips . The turn is the and the river is the making two pair as the Mallu express derails yet another opponent.



Rob Sherwood is OUT in 4th place winning £14,900

To the chagrin of Floppy who was hoping to get the last train home to Leeds, play has ground to a halt three-handed with most boards being checked down. Nobody in particular has taken hold of the game, with each player snapping up their fair share of small pots. Roberto Romanello did move in preflop one hand, but he found know further action.

Ali Mallu -- 990,000
Roberto Romanello -- 295,000

Yes, it's been pretty slow going here, but we're hoping for a bit of "blink and you'll miss it" action or an Amir Khan fight, as it's also known.

[snoopy1239]

On a flop, Ali Mallu check calls 20,000 from Roberto Romanello, before check-raising Roberto's 20,000 bet on the turn to a total of 73,000. Roberto flat calls. A on the river triggers a brief pause from Ali, before he leads out for 110,000. Roberto calls. Ali shows for quads, Roberto flips a . ali Mallu is now a huge chip leader, whilst Roberto will now be looking for a spot to push, much like Rob Sherwood when they were four-handed.
